ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) proceed with the
Terminal 91 Visitor Management project; (2) authorize the procurement of required hardware,
software, and vendor services; and (3) authorize Port staff to implement the project for a total
project cost not to exceed $520,000. 
SYNOPSIS 
Approximately 1600 vehicles pass through the gates at Terminal 91 on a non-cruise day. 
Terminal 91 tenants with gate passes make up half of these visitors, and those without a gate pass
are granted access after showing a valid driver's license or government identification and filling
out a paper card that they return when they exit the facility. The Terminal 91  Visitor
Management project will improve security by only permitting authorized persons to access the
facility. Identifying information will be captured when a visitor enters and exits the facility 
through the expansion of an existing Port Credential Management System. The project will also 
increase efficiency by allowing automated, credentialed access to tenants. 
This project has received grant funding approval from the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) as part of the Fiscal Year 2013 Port Security Grant Program. Total project costs are
estimated to be $520,000 of which an estimated $260,000 will be reimbursed through the DHS 
grant. This project is included in the 2014  2018 capital budget and plan of finance as part of an 
$805,002 business plan prospective project within CIP #C800436, Seaport Security Round 13. 
BACKGROUND 
In addition to supporting cruise operations, Terminal 91 provides short-term and long-term
moorage for commercial workboats and fishing vessels and on-site bunker fuel, fish processing,

cold-storage, and new-car storage. Regular tenants receive generic gate passes that, when
displayed, allow them to enter the facility unchallenged. 
Approximately 800 daily visitors without gate passes include business deliveries, dealer auto 
pickup, students, and event participants during non-cruise operations. Visitors that enter on foot
or vehicle drivers are provided a paper form at entry that they are asked to fill out and return
upon exit. The information provided is completed on an honor system and is not verified for
accuracy. Paper cards are kept in boxes at the guard gate for two years in accordance with the
Washington State Destruction Schedule and Coast Guard regulations before being destroyed.
During cruise operations, between 2,500-5,000 taxis, buses, limos, town cars, and private
vehicles deliver thousands of passengers to their ship. On these days, all gates are open and
guards do not request identification or issue paper forms. 
In September 2013, the Port was awarded a DHS fiscal year 2013 Port Security grant of
$805,002 for two projects, Terminal 91 Visitor Management and a small capital project, Pier 66
Transportation Workers Identification Card (TWIC). The Pier 66 TWIC project was approved by
Seaport leadership in February 2014. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
This project will provide an improved layer of security by capturing information from a valid
credential for tenants, vehicle drivers, and pedestrians entering and exiting the facility during
non-cruise operations. 
Currently, guards at the gate have no way of identifying someone that shouldn't be
provided access. There have been several occurrences where people that have been issued
no-trespass orders have been able to gain access to the facility. In one instance, a tenant
was threatened with assault on-site even after the problem was pre-identified to security. 
With the paper form process, Port Police are hampered in their ability to investigate
suspicious activity or enforce other laws such as trespass. Due to the current honor
system of completing paper forms, the forms may not have valid identifying information
and it is time consuming to search through boxes of paper to find potential contacts. 
There is also a risk of exposure of personal information should the paper cards be lost or
otherwise compromised. 
The new project will allow tenants to participate in the vetting of their employees,
delivery personnel, and visitors  by providing an ability to pre-authorize  personnel
regularly on-site via the Port of Seattle credentialing program. 
Because of the large number of visitors during cruise operations or a major event, the gates will
continue to be opened on those days without capturing credentials to ensure the efficient flow of
traffic. While information on persons entering the facility is not captured during this timeframe,
the presence of a significant additional security guard presence helps to mitigate security threats
during the times that access credentials are not checked. These additional security guard
expenses are charged back to the event sponsor.

Project Objectives 
Increase security at Terminal 91 during non-cruise operations by only permitting
authorized vehicle drivers and pedestrians to enter the facility. 
Improve security and efficiency by offering pre-authorization by tenants for their
employees, vendors and contractors, and integrating with the access control and
credentialing systems. 
Scope of Work 
Configure the Port's Credential System, Quantam Secure's SAFE system, to pre-enroll
and authorize tenants using their driver's license or other government identification as a
credential. This will eliminate operational costs to print and maintain Port badges. 
Procure and implement the SAFE module for visitor management. 
Procure and install credential readers and integrate with the SAFE and Port Access
Control systems.

STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project supports the Century Agenda strategy to advance this region as a leading tourism
destination and business getaway. This project improves the safety and security of our tenants
and the public at Terminal 91. 
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Identify visitors or vehicles through driver's license or license plate only.
While this less costly alternative will provide a record of people entering and exiting the facility,
it offers little efficiency improvement and no ability for the tenant to pre-authorize or regulate
visitors. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Pre-authorization for tenants, visitor management, and license plate recognition.
The delivery of license plate recognition and recording did not sufficiently increase security to
justify the additional $300,000 cost. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3)  Pre-authorization for tenants with identification of visitors using driver's
license or other government credential.  This solution provides the additional security of
capturing a valid credential for vehicle drivers and pedestrians as well as improved efficiency

through pre-authorization and integration with access control.  This is the recommended
alternative.
